As you said above, .settings is per-project and is actually intended
to be committed to version control. For instance, in Wonder, we
commit the coding style preferences so that everyone gets the same
style settings for reformatting, etc.
For workspace settings, you should NOT copy the .metadata folder to
multiple people -- it's going to cause all sorts of strange problems.
The metadata folder is not just workspace settings, but also things
like local revision history, etc. The proper way to do this is to
File=>Export=>Preferences and File=>Import=>Preferences. Any failings
in this procedure are most likely WOLips-specific and you should log
bugs for it.
You can also export Team Project Sets (I think is what they're called)
if you want to share a set of predefined project checkouts.
